Black man Charles Kinsey told police he was unarmed before being shot
Charles Kinsey, a therapist who works at an assisted living facility, was trying to help an autistic patient that escaped from a group home on Monday. Police arrived in response to a 911 call regarding an armed man who was threatening suicide. Kinsey was then shot by North Miami Police, despite being unarmed and pleading with the officers, his hands in the air. He survived and was treated for his wound.
“When it hit me I had my hands in the air, and I’m thinking I just got shot!“ the caregiver told WSVN. “And I’m saying, ‘Sir, why did you shoot me?‘” The officer responded with three jaw-dropping words.
